The perils of city life that no one warns you about.. You kind of anticipate that street parking means your car will get dinged up a bit, but it's a real sucker punch when you go to get in your car and find that someone side swiped you, took your mirror, and left damage to all four panels in a hit and run. And if you have my luck it happens twice! As a young woman who knows nothing about cars, going to the body shop can be intimidating. Both times, however, Tigers has taken care of me with transparency and professionalism. Start by bringing it in for an estimate -- no appointment needed. If you call ahead, you'll just be told "anytime". The assessment will be quick, and in under 20 minutes you'll have a quote and an appointment to bring it back for the actual work. (Yes, the appointment might be a couple days out. They're busy because they're GOOD.) In my case, a four panel replacement was expected to take 3-4 days. I had plans to be out of town, and the team was completely understanding about my need to leave it there for an extra day or two until I returned. In the short amount of time I spent in the office, a crew member or two floated in or out with smiles on their faces, cracking jokes, making me feel completely at ease. You can tell the team gets along well and generally just seem to enjoy being there. Greg also took the time to discuss my options with me (insurance vs out of pocket, what could be done to bring the cost down while managing the essentials, and explaining the different steps that must be taken for either option). When I came back for pickup a few days later, I found my car looking good as new. Maybe it's because I'm repeat business, but when it was time to pay up I was told it was discounted. I was incredibly grateful -- but imagine how much more grateful I was when I actually got in the car to drive home... And found that the crew had detailed the interior, too! Truly above and beyond, the nicest team, just carrying on the family legacy and happy to be doing it. I'll never take my car anywhere else and I'll vouch for Tiger's every time. read more

My 2025 Nissan Murano was scratched from front to rear on the driver side of the vehicle. I spoke with Scott and he was polite, knowledgeable and explained the entire process to me. I had a positive experience from walking in the door, interaction with Scott, the price was reasonable, vehicle finished and returned in time promised and in brand new condition. I couldn't tell that the scratch ever happened. I would highly recommend them and their services. Ask for Scott! read more

I had bumper and side door indentations. Tiger Body Shop was my best option! Not only did I receive an estimate in minutes, they also beat the price of another shop I tried. Within 3 days my car looks new! They did a fantastic job! Thank you TBS! Your staff is terrific! read more

Greg and his crew did an excellent job on repairing my car after a terrible accident! My car looks beautiful!! I have lived in this neighborhood for over 40 years, passed this place many times, I'm so glad they were there when I needed them! It's always good to support businesses in the neighborhood. Greg, thank you for dealing with the insurance company and for your support during an upsetting time. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tiger's Body Shop!! read more

Highly recommend. Good people. Good and honest communication. All around great experience with them. Thank you!

Greg and his team are amazing! They are HONEST, actually answer the questions you need to know to decide what repairs you need, what options you have and are always willing to help! I can't recommend this place enough! They explain how car rentals (which ones are easier to deal with), clearly communicate if you need more than one item fixed/replaced. I ENJOy going to this place (which is usually not the case when you need to call them) because they actually CARE about the customer. I've been going to them for over 10 years. They are the *BEST*. read more

Strong winds recently messed up one of our car's doors to the point where you couldn't close it all the way. Ashland Tire recommended Tiger's Body Shop to us and we're so glad we met Greg. Besides repairing the door like new, we were really impressed with the great customer service. You don't find that very often these days!! read more

I brought my vehicle to Tiger's Body Shop for repair of some paint damage, after Tiger's was recommended by two other acquaintances that were very satisfied with Tiger's work on their vehicles. I was quoted a very fair price after stopping by for inspection, and was able to schedule drop off right away. When I picked up the vehicle after repair there was a minor issue with the paint finish that they took care of without issue. This shop has been around a long time and the reason appears to be their excellent customer service and quality of work. read more

Hands down single best auto body shop in the city! Exceptional work, fantastic customer service and pricing that can't be beat! Thanks guys! read more

Got my hood painted at Tigers recently. They did a great job at a very good price. Highly recommend

I had such high hopes for this place. Tiger's Body Shop has excellent Yelp reviews, and the staff really was so responsive and friendly. However, in my emails I specifically requested a quote for gloss black painted racing stripes for my car. We agreed on a price and I dropped off my car on a Monday. It was finished on Friday and I was so bummed to find that all the shop did was replace the current vinyl racing stripe with more Matte black vinyl. The entire stripe wasn't even replaced, only the hood and the top of the car. Really disappointed, especially when we have the written confirmation that the service was supposed to be for a "gloss black painted stripe." read more

Outstanding service and customer engagement. I highly recommend this spot. They took care of me like the absolute pros they are at a more than fair price. I'm not very often surprised my great work, but these guys are simply the best in the city at what they do. Value. Value. Value. read more

Went to Tiger's for an estimate after my bumper was damaged in a hit and run incident. After giving me an estimate for paint, they checked my bumper, cleaned it, and told me it didn't need any repair at all, that the scuffs rubbed off when cleaned. And they didn't charge me anything! They totally could have taken advantage of me, or charged me a fee for their time, but they didn't! They were honest and they totally cared about customer service! Highly recommend if you want an honest estimate, fair treatment, and a dose of kindness! read more

My Prius had a minor scratch on the right rear and a tinier one on the front left side. After reading the glowing Yelp reviews I brought it in for an estimate. One of the owners checked it out and said the front left scratch could be buffed out and that he would only charge me for the paint mixture For the rear right. The estimate was very low so I brought my car in two days later. When I picked it up, same day, I saw a small bottle of leftover paint in the car! Above and beyond. When it was time to settle up I offered the, presumably, other owner more than I was being charged. He turned it down. Many of us are not "car guys" and are at the mercy of the shop on price. The integrity and good work of Tiger's Body Shop has made me a lifetime customer. I just hope I won't have to see them too often! read more

On time and under budget (11 dollars under, but I'll take it.) I had a great interaction and will use them again.

They did such a phenomenal job on the scrape alongside my car (self-inflicted). I debated even getting to taken care of but I am so glad I did. My car looked brand spanking new when I got it back. One of my friends even asked me if I got a new car when I picked her up. They fixed it and cleaned it to such an amazing degree. Super thankful! read more

I found tigers on my way to Trader Joe's My car had been damaged a week before while in a parking lot I thought I would stop in show them the damage and get their opinion on fixing and the cost I love this place They did my work and it was exceptional All the friendliest people did not tie up my car for days Every car that comes out of there looks brand new no matter what kind of damage it went in with if you want to use the best and you love your car and want it to look great you must take it to tigers Bobbie read more

Went to these guys to fix a small scratch on the bumper and a minor crack in the driver's side rear-view mirror of my Q50. They were able to hand buff out the bumper right there. Checked out the mirror and determined it would be about $300 to replace the part plus labor, and they just recommended I try to glue it myself first before I spend all the money on replacement. Did just that, and worked out great. They didn't charge me anything, even after I offered. So great to work with an honest business that is looking out for your best interests, doesn't try to fleece you, and gives you honest advice and free assistance, even if that costs them a sale. This is a high-character operation, and I will absolutely be back here next time I have a more significant fix that needs attention. read more

I will never go to a dealer for body work again after my great experience this week at Tiger's. For some unexplained reason, the width of my garage door opening shrunk. So, when I pulled into my parking space as usual, I smashed off the entire passenger side mirror mechanism. Tiger's couldn't help me figure out why the garage opening got so much smaller but they WERE able to replace the damage for hundreds of dollars less than I would have paid at the dealer. Tiger's fixed me right up. They got the new components quickly, then painted the outside mirror cover to match. It was taken apart then put all back together in about an hour and a half. There's no fancy waiting room with luxurious sofas, new car brochures and an espresso machine, but the Dunkin Donuts two blocks away was a fine place to wait. Co-owner Steve (son of the late Tiger who started the business) was a great guy and the person who did the labor a real pro. read more

I banged up the right door of my car pretty bad. It would not open. Within two hours of bringing it in Tiger's Body Shop fixed it for a shockingly low price. Not only did they do quick, high-quality work for a reasonable price, but they could not have been nicer. Highly recommended. read more

I just had my rear bumper replaced. Tiger's Body Shop did such an amazing job not only installing the new bumber, but doing touch ups on the edges of my doors and a rather large area where I slowly side swiped a metal pole. My 2005 SUV now looks like a brand new vehicle! I wish I had before and after photos to post. They were such a pleasur to work with! read more

Took my Toyota in needing a new passenger-side rear-view mirror. Very good, timely work, at a cost under the estimate, and a very friendly staff. Highly recommended! read more

Why getting a quote from Tiger's is a requirement and not an option: 1. Ease: My car got checked out and I left with a quote in hand in all of about 10 minutes. No waiting in a lobby for someone to be free or taking forever to generate your quote. 2. Value: The quote I got was so well priced that I was almost concerned, but please see point 3. 3. Quality: The job was done perfectly, I can't even tell where the damage was before, or that there was ever a patch job done. I will absolutely be returning for any autobody work I need done. read more

My wife dented the side of our 2021 Tesla model Y. One body shop said to replace the entire door ( $5000)since aluminum is hard to repair . I then got a 2nd quote from tiger's body shop , they felt comfortable not replacing the door and just repairing for $1200. I was skeptical , but I authorized tiger's body shop to repair , the door looks brand new , color match is perfect . Nice work tiger's body shop, I will refer my family and friends to you . read more

Went here for a bumper crack and multiple scratches from the lovely parallel Parkers on my street. Both owners were extremely nice to me and quote was exactly what final cost was. Took 2 days to complete which again was exactly what they said. They do plastic welding so the bumper looks brand new and I didn't have to buy a brand new one! Was about $400 for paint and plastic welding all together. I highly recommend! The only negative I can even think of is the (sometimes) tough parking situation due to their location. Check out my picture for look and before and after! read more

I've used Tiger several times over the last fives years. Once for a minor collision repair and several times for touch up, cosmetic work. It is a family run business that does not disappoint. Great work, competitive prices. read more

Came here for a leaky sunroof and a bulb replacement. Greg was very nice and got my car fixed in a couple hours. Very reasonably priced and super quick. Win win. Hopefully my sunroof won't leak anymore, but I guess I'll find out the next time it pours. It was fine during a car wash. Fingers crossed. read more

Greg and Scott are industry leaders who genuinely care about their customers. Finding a company that prides themselves on their customer service in this industry is hard to come by, however they go above and beyond. Long story short, Working with them showed me how well suited they are at taking care of any give customer. I would recommend them to anyone needing auto help. read more

I thought I had a major expense and problem on my hands when I absent-mindedly backed out of my garage before it was fully open, shattering my rear windshield into hundreds of pieces. The first repair shop I called at the recommendation of the car dealer said there were no replacement parts available because my car was too new. Fortunately, Tiger's Body Shop not only found the part, but they got it in the next day and completed the repair in just a few hours at an amazingly affordable price. I couldn't have been happier with the results! I would recommend this body shop to others. read more

I believe these guys are probably good at what they do and are likely trustworthy. Just highly disorganized. My car was forgotten about and not finished when it was supposed to be read more

Good "ol Tiger's. A fixture "round these parts", they be. 'Twas a frigid and dank January day, and a scraping was emanating from everywhere and nowhere while tooling along in my state of the art hotrod* (* this is quite likely puffery and potentially misleading about the auto in question), knowing Tiger's was nearby, I drove straight there. Did I accidentally pass their driveway , you ask? Why yes, perhaps I did. Anyway, when I finally returned, they appeared to have pity on me and took a look at my stock car's undercarriage. They put it up on one of those hydraulic elevator things and took care of it right away, for an extremely fair price. They are just the best. read more

I took an aftermarket radio for my 2019 Toyota 4Runner to tiger body shop to match the trim to my oem dashboard and they knocked it out the park.

I used to go to Tiger's to get my car fixed. However, last time I drove past, they had the thin blue line flag hanging in all of their windows. So, I won't be going back. read more

Aside from not wearing facemasks around customers (which is totally unacceptable), they also forgot about my car, lost my key, and told the insurance company the job was done when they hadn't even started it. As a result of their mistakes, a 2.5 day job took 7 days to complete, and I had to pay $130 out-of-pocket to extend my rental car that the insurance wouldn't cover. [UPDATE: After posting this review, Greg reached out to me and apologized for mistakes, and offered to cover the out-of-pocket expenses. I appreciate the professional response. I've used Tiger's several times in the past and this is the first time I've had any issues. Review rating changed to 3*] read more

Tigers Auto Body is Fantastic! And very highly recommended! We stopped by and met with Greg who left us very confident about repairing a front fender dent and some other damage on right rear door and panel. We've always heard great things about this shop and meeting Greg and seeing the finished repairs done beautifully and right on time - and at a price that saved us money - leaves us with only one thing to say: Thank You Very Much! Bring your car here and you'll know afterwards why Tiger's has been around a long time! read more

I don't know how many hundreds of times that I passed this shop on my way to work without considering them for my auto needs. Very nice owner and fair, honest prices. I will definitely be going back for any opinions needed on vehicle repair. My final costs were lower than originally quoted. read more

LOVE these guys! Ashland Tire and Auto recommended them to me and I have gone to them twice thru the years: once because a beer truck ran into me and Tiger's is on the State Farm "recommended list", and another time because our front bumper was coming off due to my beloved's love affair with repeatedly driving into and over those cement thingies in front of parking spots. :0 They have always been nice, fair and able to fix my car in no time. I believe the owner is named Greg - ask for him. read more

I attended a friend's wedding in BFE-Iowa and had to leave my car parked in the lot of the hotel where everyone was staying. When I came out to the car the next morning, I noticed a small dent in my door, accompanied by a long and deep scratch (all the way down to the surface metal). It looked like someone had sideswiped my car with a heavy and hard-sided suitcase, leaving an ugly gash in my door...and then they just walked away. I was appalled and couldn't believe that people could be such a-holes like this...but then I remembered where I was and had to accept the fact that I really was standing in the parking lot of a riverboat casino hotel in Bettendorf, Iowa. Once I got home, I tried to buff the scratch and pull the dent out by myself, but I soon realized the job was way bigger than my DIY Auto Mechanic's hat could handle and that it would definitely require professional work. So with that, I read all the reviews for body shops in Chicago on Yelp and decided Tiger's would get my business. The entire process was quick and painless. I took my car in there early one morning on a Tuesday, got an estimate for $340 (slightly cheaper than I thought it would be) and decided to just leave it for the work to be done. By Thursday afternoon, it was completely fixed and ready for pick-up. The door looks brand-spankin' new, with a fresh coat of shiny black onyx paint on it and no evidence of scratches or denting to be seen. The only downside to this place is that they are located in a tricky spot (on the busy corner of Lincoln/Addison/Ravenswood and under the train tracks). Finding a place to park on the street can be challenging, and while it would seem to make the most sense for you to pull into their garage, they happen to have a garage full of cars and other repair jobs that prevent you from actually doing so, making street parking mandatory. They should either expand, buy a lot for parking, or move to a new location that provides this. Or, at the very least, they should tell people about the parking procedure and give them pointers prior to their arrival. All in all, I still have to give them 5 stars for being incredibly quick, reasonably affordable and doing high-quality work. read more
